Names for Outcasts

Heyo

I've recently started watching the TV series Wednesday on Netflix, and I'm loving it. For those unfamiliar with it, it's about the experiences of Wednesday Addams (a character originally created by cartoonist Charles Addams in the 1930s but not named "Wednesday" until the television series The Addams Family was created in the '60s). In the Netflix series, Wednesday attends a strange, private school for "outcasts."

So, I'm giving out macabre, gothic-sounding names to any outcasts here (if you want them). Or, you can come up with a macabre, gothic-sounding outcast name for yourself, but I'll be happy to give you one, myself. This is the weird, time-consuming stuff I do for fun.

The rule is that the created outcast name must contain all the letters to be found in your profile name.

I'll start off with this one I came up with for @Debater Slayer (I hope you don't mind being cast as an outcast, DS): Aleistyr Jourdemort. Your first name pays homage to the famous occultist Aleister Crowley. Your surname Jourdemort is from the French jour de mort (meaning "day of death").

And here's one for @JustGeorge (I'm almost certain you don't mind being cast as an outcast, JG): Jequirity Egregious. Your first name is the name of a poisonous plant that produces bright red berries. (Google it, it's beautiful.) I thought the name "Jequirity" would be cute for you.

Okay, so does anyone here want to know what your outcast name is? That would be your name if you were a student at Nevermore (Wednesday Addams's private school). :)

I'm neither a goth nor am I really an outcast. I'm just an odd one.
Even if you take "gothic" as the meaning used in art history, my medieval persona is only on the brink between the Romanesque and the Gothic period (being set in northern Germany in the first half of the 13th c).
Furthermore, I'm much too old to be a student at Nevermore. But I love the Wednesday Adams character and I could imagine myself as a fencing instructor at the school.
What would my name be?

@Heyo, you get the name: Hieronymus Wythermoon

Your first name honors the 15th century Dutch painter, Hieronymus Bosch, noted for his nightmarish depictions of Hell in his paintings (see image below). Both your first name and your surname each contain all the letters in "Heyo."

I think that you would make an awesome fencing instructor at Nevermore!

@lewisnotmiller, you clearly need a name to stand out from all your Aussie mates. Here you go:
Machiavelli Walpurgisnacht

@Mock Turtle, the name you came up with was both funny and creative! Here's one of mine for you:
Mortifer Dunkelnacht

Mortifer: Latin, "bearing death."
Dunkelnacht: derived from German, "dark night." DunkelNacht is also the name of a Black Metal band.

@PureX, yes, the Nevermore outcasts do have common names. How sad for them. :( The Addamses at least have style, and Wednesday is bringing it to Nevermore. (She practically taught the students how to dance at the Rave'N dance in the episode "Woe What a Night"). You get:
Xephyrus Jones

Xephyrus: a variant spelling of Zephyrus (containing all the letters in "PureX"), the name of the ancient Greek god of the west wind. "Traditionally, 'Zephyros' has been linked to the word ζόφος (zóphos) meaning 'darkness', 'west'." Quoted from Wikipedia
Jones: a common surname for you, to blend in with the other students at Nevermore.
